leka med elden

leka med elden (Swedish) — To put yourself at risk unnecessarily. Literally means the same as the English "to play with fire", but in the explanations for that idiom it seems to be implied that it's inevitable for things to go wrong. Instead, I would say that, the way it's used in speech, if you "leker med elden" the odds are definitely not in your favor, but you might still be extremely lucky and get away without a scratch.
